Crunch Time in the US

[scall11]

Well it was only 50 years ago that black people had to use seperate entrances, give up seats on the bus etc. they were a textbook definition of a second-class citizen. Now it looks as though they'll have a black President. I'd hate to sound all hysterical and grand, but Martin Luther King would have loved to have seen this day. It really is an historic day in the chapters of history.

I've just thought...can anyone name a black senior politician in the UK??!!

We've had a female Prime Minister.

Obama isn't even black.

The Founding Fathers may have written about the right to bear arms, but that was in the context of a frontier society with plenty of wild animals wandering around.
